Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus] Maybe it’s the way the world feels small, When someone’s gone, you feel it all. [Chorus] I never knew you, but I felt the fall, Like the wind had whispered through us all. A stranger’s light went out too soon, And left a shadow on the moon. I never knew you, but I felt the ache— A quiet tear I couldn’t fake. You never spoke a word to me, But somehow, you still made me see. [Verse 2] The songs you sang, the words you wrote, Still drift like echoes through the smoke. And though your story’s yours alone, It hums beneath my skin and bone. [Pre-Chorus] How strange the way a heart can break, For someone it will never wake. [Chorus] I never knew you, but I felt the fall, Like the wind had whispered through us all. A stranger’s light went out too soon, And left a shadow on the moon. I never knew you, but I felt the ache— A quiet tear I couldn’t fake. You never spoke a word to me, But somehow, you still made me see. [Bridge] Maybe love’s just memory shared, Between the souls who somehow cared. Maybe grief’s a passing flame, That burns for beauty without a name.
